The Java Community Process (JCP) plays a critical role in the evolution of Java. This
keynote will explain how the JCP is organized and how interested
members of the Java community - commercial organizations, non-profits,
Java user-groups, and individual developers - work together to advance
the Java language and platforms. It will then discuss recent and
upcoming changes to the JCP's structure and operating processes, and
will explain how these changes ('JCP.next') will make the organization
more efficient and will ensure that its work is carried out in a more
open and more transparent manner.
